house speaker boehner said yesterday that he was seeing no progress in negotiations but the democrats, they don't really agree with that too much. they think the g.o.p. is ready to cave in and pass the plan that would extend the bush tax cuts for everyone except the top 2%. now, that's of course a pretty big gamble but since many republicans are calling for the same and back away from norquist's pledge, the democrats do feel like they have some pretty big leverage. that deal would just solve part of the problem and put much of the negotiations off until next year. we'll be right back. alright, in 15 minutes we're going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us.
